Candy Boxes

Candy Boxes

Another DIY project this week. I found these two wooden boxes at a second hand store for $2,50 a piece. They look really ugly, but that can be changed with a little white/ chalk paint!

You need:

- Chalk paint

- White paint

 

Step by Step:

 

1. Sand the boxes a little.

2. Prime & Paint them with white paint. I took regular primer and latex paint.

3. Draw the shape you want for the chalk paint on the box. {I know you are going to hate me for this, but I don’t have a stencil, I drew it free-hand;-)}

4. Paint with chalk paint and let dry for 30 minutes. Voila!

5. Fill with candy, coffee, sugar…. whatever you like to store!

 

 

Enjoy your day!

    I love this!!! my mom has some of these that she has had for years… I don’t think I could convince her to redo them though :( Maybe I will find some at the second hand store! Thanks for linking this up!
